Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Hello polonius
I am a simple visitor to that site, therefore, as a simple user, the users / collaborators who have preceded me have already explained the possible problem: put that link on that page clickable, as written in this post, asking for a review of the Staff of Avast, like the previous times ;)

Only this link is problematic.
https://www.tivusat.tv/pages/news/alert.aspx

All other pages of the site are quietly opened by Avast.
I remember again that page is to warn that another site with a similar url uses phishing activity, so that users are not misled, this page is still ok. I hope the staff will remove the anti-virus 'block'.

Perhaps the error, as mentioned by Asyn, is to have made the url of the phishing site clickable on that page

Here the virustotal report of this page blocked by the antivirus
https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/5b88d0b28b6f8c2c3424f2cbe48ba2f6f42313e14c7673072a569732d9978f81/detection

Thank you all for the support

Vianello
Disabling the antivirus I realized that the offending link was removed from that page, so if possible I ask the revaluation by the staff.
